The Washington bureau reports that the Reagan administration plans to undermine VISTA by denying reapplication to non profit groups after contracts end, reducing volunteers and funding. Tom Pauken and a Kingston Coalition meeting drew up a hit list of 39 groups, many linked to leftist causes, while plans suggest phasing out VISTA by 1983 and shifting to less political programs.
